A KST SHORT COURSE

buy Seroquel discount Course Introduction
No body of literature influenced New Testament writers as much as Israel’s Scriptures (OT) did. They are referenced some 2500 times in 1800 places throughout the NT. This is hardly surprising, since this new thing God had done in the LORD Jesus was the fulfilment of his centuries old promises to his people. Yet questions abound:
- What do we do with the sometimes remarkable differences between the Scriptural text and its “quotation” in the NT?
- How can a text that is not a “prophecy” be “fulfilled”?
- Are the NT authors reliable interpretative guides or do they use methods which no modern bible reader could accept?
- Do they care about context, or are their citations merely ad hoc?
- Is there an underlying coherence that unites both the NT and the Scriptures, and if so, what does this tell us about how they understood God’s work among us in Christ?
After a brief overview of the modern debate and the interpretative approaches available to first century authors, we will examine particular instances of Jesus’ and the NT authors’ use of the OT. We will argue that if we start with their twin assumptions of Yahweh’s unchanging faithfulness, and that the LORD himself was present in Jesus, then they are very aware of the Scriptural context and we can and should follow their lead. The course will attempt to show how this all makes sense in the contexts of the first century world and ours, not least in highlighting the importance of Christian character and integrity.
Students will not only gain insight into particular NT texts’ use of the Scriptures, but also have a greater sense of the overarching biblical themes that unite both testaments and their relevance to today.
